01 / About BAMS

Brooklyn roots. More than 20 years of keeping business moving.

BAMS was founded in 2006 on a simple idea: merchants deserve honest pricing, powerful reporting tools and real people who answer when it matters. From our home in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, we bring that standard to businesses across all five boroughs.

Our team has helped thousands of merchants simplify payments, strengthen cash flow and build long-term processing relationships around the way they actually do business.

02 / What we do

Payment processing near me in New York City.

Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Manhattan and Staten Island payment solutions should reflect how each neighborhood does business. “Local” is more than a mailing address. It is knowing that a café in Astoria does not run like a salon in Bed-Stuy, a nonprofit in the Bronx, or a multi-location retailer in Manhattan — and configuring payment tools accordingly.

05 / Pricing models

Interchange-Plus vs Flat-Rate.

BAMS offers published rates for qualified transactions and custom interchange-plus pricing. Understanding how each model works helps you compare the true cost of processing.

Transparent components

Interchange-Plus

You pay the interchange cost set by the card networks plus a separate processor markup. This makes lower- and higher-cost transaction types visible instead of blending them into one standard rate.

Read the interchange-plus guide
One blended rate

Flat-Rate

A single blended rate applies to covered transactions. It is simple to read initially but can make it difficult to see how card types, payment methods and wholesale interchange costs affect your bottom line.

Review flat-rate pricing
Calculate the true cost

Effective Rate

Your effective rate is your true processing cost. Use it to compare the total cost across quotes instead of relying only on a headline rate.
